As the impact of climate change becomes more apparent globally, companies are being asked to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases as a measure to counter global warming.

Being engaged in the housing business and in the manufacturing of wooden panels and building materials, the Sumitomo Forestry Group is considerate of its impact on the environment, and is committed to reducing the volume of greenhouse gases emitted from its business activities. Furthermore, in an effort to reduce its environmental impact and to use resources effectively, the Group promotes the reduction, recycling and reuse of industrial waste.
